Forget Starbucks – This Homemade Bread Will Carry You Into The Clouds

There was a time when I used to think applesauce bread was a mandatory item at the holiday dinner table. Don’t get me wrong – I still think it’s delicious. But after my mother mentioned this recipe, it changed my life. You think I’m being over-dramatic? Well, you haven’t tasted this cranberry bliss bread yet.

If you’ve ever had the pleasure of enjoying a Starbucks cranberry bliss bar, you may have an idea of how awesome this recipe is. I mean, you get the same, incredible flavors – but a whole loaf of them!

They say the holidays are about sharing, but I kind of don’t feel like sharing a single piece of this loaf. I think I’m just going to make 2, right away. One for the guests and one, all for me! The bread itself is super juicy and tasty on its own, but when you cover it with frosting, decorate with craisins and drizzle with white chocolate? It. Is. To. Die. For. It doesn’t matter how many helpings you got at dinner, there’s always room for a slice of this!

Quick Tip: You serve the bread without the frosting to make it lighter – but who would want to do that?

I decided to dust off my trusty Bundt pan and give this recipe a go. Man, am I glad that I did! I fell in love with the orange cranberry goodness in just one bite. I offered a piece to my elderly neighbor lady, and she said that it reminded her of the Bundt cake her mom used to make. Isn’t that sweet?

I think you’re all really going to like how this Bundt cake turns out!

Quick Tip: For a pretty presentation, fill the center of this Bundt cake with sugared cranberries. This works well during the holidays and can serve as an edible centerpiece!

It’s another great cookie recipe! If you like macadamia nuts or white chocolate, I think you’ll love these White Chocolate Chip Macadamia Nut Cookies. With under 15 minutes of baking time, this recipe yields about 2 dozen, so that’s about 13 cookies you can share with friends and family… of course, you can also hoard them away for your own pleasure. It’s up to you!

This is such a simple recipe you’ll probably already have most of the ingredients at hand – and you can change things up a little if you’re missing some of them. Of course, you will need cookie sheets for this recipe. Actual baking time is just nine minutes, and though there is some prep, it’s nothing too involved. Just be sure not to over-mix or space the individual pieces of dough too close together, and you’ll have two dozen beautiful and tasty cookies in no time.
